Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ember Blaze Eau de Parfum

A divisive beast - some adore its complex, bold character, others find it too much or just plain weird. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but worth trying if you're after something truly different and don't mind standing out.

Statement

Our Verdict - Guidance 46 Eau de Parfum

Guidance 46 is a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention. Many hail it as a masterpiece, a smoother, more refined take on the original Guidance, while others find its intensity overwhelming and even unpleasant. This isn't a scent for the faint-hearted; it's bold, unforgettable, and polarising.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its bold and projecting nature, driven by strong amber and woody accords, makes it unsuitable for the office but perfect for dates where you want to make an impression. It can also hold its own in more formal evening settings, though some might find the gourmand lean a bit too casual for certain occasions.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its extreme projection and longevity, Guidance 46 is too potent for office, casual, or sport wear, risking overwhelming others. It truly shines for date nights or formal events where its commanding presence can be appreciated, though moderation is key.
